Other Bits...

As you may have noticed, this week's recap is an unusually long post. We wanted to make sure that all of our members can get caught up on what's HAPPENING, not necessarily what's happening on the page. Although it's gotten a little cluttered in recent weeks, rest assured that we're trying to streamline the group's Facebook page as we speak! :)

Because of how busy we expect ourselves to be (the admins and our members alike), we will not have a Recap Friday post next week (7/19/13).

More Bits...

Planning to see a panel but you don't want to be alone? Sign up to see who else is lining up for what!

Keep up the momentum, propel yourself towards the light, and we'll see you next week at the SDCC: BH meet-up! (Pssst! You can still RSVP here!)

An Important Message

Thanks for hanging in there with us.

THINKGEEK SDCC EXCLUSIVES

Emily's picks!

--

For years we've awaited the arrival of their very own Comic-Con exclusives but all we've been able to get is a brief hello from Timmy! What's up with that?! They've stepped up their game this year with items you can purchase and take home with you-- these including pin packs and UV party masks from Bravest Warriors, gold pickaxes and swords for Minecraft afficionados, and Portal 2 turret flashlights complete with sound effects.

Anything with sounds effects is an instant winner in my book.

Dan's picks!

Indecisive collectors are going to have to make a tough decision next week because we're giving you another list of items to scout for. This time at the Action Figures Xpress booth (#3345).

A while ago, Dan was one of the lucky ones to pre-order exclusive sets of Marvel Minimates, including the Iron Man 3 Hall of Armors 10-Pack, as pictured bellow. The admin of our Facebook group have been oohing-and-ahhing over these adorable figurines for days! Marvel collections not your thing? Worry not. AFX has you covered with exclusives from Masters of the Universe, Star Trek, and Thundercats!

Did I mention they're releasing limited numbers of DC bear bricks as well? Guess I'll have to pay tribute to my favorite DC villain after all... #imokaywiththat
